Thank you, Madam Speaker. I don't know when you cut me off but I'll just continue from where I left off.

Coming from a town where the road and its employment opportunities are appreciated, I understand the reasoning behind the watering of the roads: to reduce dust to help the grader operators in doing their jobs to make the roads safer for all travellers. So, in essence, Madam Speaker, the water truck monster is our friend. It is part of a plan that makes our highways safe. So I'm sure the Members can understand my confusion when I saw this friendly monster on the highway making a dangerous situation even more so.

Then, Madam Speaker, I thought about the nature of the beast. The monster may have sense enough not to water the road during the rain, but must for fear of riling the government policy monsters who I am sure everyone knows are much more dangerous than the friendly water truck monsters. This policy must read something like this: "Thou shall take said full water truck out onto said highway, then thou shall empty said contents on said highway. Thou shall give no concern to present weather patterns, thou shall show no common sense or thou shall lose your contract or be fired."

Madam Speaker, we must allow the water truck monsters to be free; free to make their own decisions on how much water must go on our highways. It is a simple matter of physics: one inch of mud is safer than four inches of mud. Besides which, Madam Speaker, having just kissed and made up with the highway patrol, I would not want to get a ticket for having a dirty licence plate. Thank you.
